- That's not the end of it. The new SmartDrive that comes with Windows 3.1
- SUCKS! It gave me such a headache because I always got errors when I tried
- to download files. The Write Cache would mess up the timings that my
- comm program had. And it's not that my computer is too slow (I have a
- 486-50). Just turn the SmartDrv write cache off and save yerself a lot of
- headaches. Believe me.

- Those stupid people at Microsoft. First, they come up with a runt OS called
- MS-DOS and keep modifying it so they can trick the consumer into thinking
- it is actually semi-efficient. (It's not efficient, you just gotta spend the
- big bucks for a fast computer.) Then, they come out with the ugliest looking
- flight simulator out there (who like those graphics anyways?). Now, they
- come out with Windows. Their biggest trimuph. Multi-tasking my butt.
- AND WHAT?! Bill Gates is the richest executive out there. Life can be so
- ironic.
